Abstract

An etching solution, a method of surface modification of a semiconductor substrate and a method of forming shallow trench isolation are provided. The etching solution is used for surface modifying the semiconductor substrate. The etching solution includes an oxidant and an oxide remover. The semiconductor substrate is oxidized to a semiconductor oxide by the oxidant, and the oxide remover subtracts the semiconductor oxide.
